Burst watermain opposite Horniman Gardens

[rendelharris]

There's a burst watermain on the South Circular opposite Horniman Gardens, the outflow of which is running down the hill towards the Grove. There were people working on it at 13.30 but it's making the surface unpleasantly greasy and it'll only get worse as the temperature drops towards rush hour, so two wheeled travellers may wish to consider an alternative route.

Just went past, the water is still leaking and cars and buses are going very slow along that section of Lordship Lane.

Amazed it's taken until today for someone to come and look at it. I reported it on Saturday morning as flowing down the road. It's in the same place as one earlier in the year.

I was stuck in this earlier this afternoon. Nightmare, and potentially dangerous if we go sub zero again. Yet more shocking driving along that stretch where the main road meets the filter lane for the right turn up the hill. My blood pressure must be off the scale with the amount of screaming and shouting I've been doing today.

What areas does this affect, we have no water on Underhill Road and it went off this morning.
